Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid Pro Line Burr Coffee Grinder, Pearl Metallic
Customer Review: Quality construction, poor design
Summary: 3 Stars
I paid $150 for this machine because I am tired of buying things that don't last. This machine is built like small appliances built 50 years ago and I'm confident it it will last a long long time.
However, for a product this expensive they really missed on the mark on design. For example, there is just a simple flip switch for on/off. As a result, it requires that you stand there and monitor how much coffee has been ground and turn it off at precisely the right moment. A much better design would be an adjustable timer so you could turn on the grinder and walk away and come back to the amount you wanted.
Also, the coffee receptacle needs a handle so you can get it out and pour the coffee into the coffee maker. As it is, it feels like it is going to fall out of your hand because it is wide and smooth glass.
Finally, we put the glass receptacle away and don't use it any more because we found it is easier to just put the filter basket from the coffee maker under the grinder and let the ground coffee fall directly into the filter basket. Our use of it in this manner made me wonder why it was not designed this way. There could be a track under the grinder that would allow you to insert the coffee maker filter basket right under the grinder and, with the timer I suggested, you could walk away and come back and just pull out the basket and put it into your coffee maker.
I know this might seem like I am dissatisfied, but the quality of the machine itself makes up for a lot. I just wonder if the designers of this machine actually use it at home. We have children and mornings are hectic. It just seems there is a market for a quality high-end grinder like this that combines a few convenience features.
So for quality I would give it 5 stars, but for features I would give it 1, so on balance I gave it 3 stars.
